The Macedonian interior
ministry on Monday said three people had been arrested in
connection with the recent murder of a Macedonian family living
in Italy who had returned home to Macedonia for a wedding.
There is "reasonable suspicion" that 28-year-old Blerta
Pocesta, the eldest daughter, killed Amit, Nazmie and Anila
Pocesta, the ministry said.
The other two arrested were identified by their initials.
F.G., 31, and V.K., 61, came from Gostivar and Debar, police
said.
They were said to have procured the weapon used by the young
woman and enabled her to flee quickly back to Italy.
The family, of Albanian origin and resident in Friuli, was
gunned down in their sleep in Macedonia when they went back for
a wedding.
The father, mother and teen daughter were killed at Debar, a
small town on the border with Albania.
The family had for a long time been resident at Sacile near
Pordenone.
The massacre happened on August 27.
The family has another daughter who stayed in Italy.
